I think its nice. Gives it a fresh look. I especially like that it incorporates the clasp. Very cool.

Soon it will become a must. Rolex works on it, with a special attention for us, the comfort padding.
Don't buy compatible, wait for the original Rolex one. Soon at your AD's shop : Link : Rolex CEE patent EP2505095 - Strap with comfort padding |

Looks great!!!
I want my dad to get a Everest or Rubber B for his GMT. He doesn't like the feel of the Rubber B though. I don't mean to hi-jack this thread but, does anyone have a picture of a TT Black Dial (Sub or GMT) with a Rubber B? Thanks!

I think the GMT IIc looks better on a leather strap. That is not to say that yours looks really good. I am considering rubber B for my 1680...

Not feeling it, makes it look like a Tissot or something of the sort.

I'm a fan of the Rubber B. Especially for a DSSD.

I like it for when you want to give the bracelet a rest. I have ordered one as well for my Sub.

I like that you incorporated the clasp into the band looks good. I've seen some NATO's that I really like on the GMT II

Good quality rubber strap, I'm impressive on how good it looks and fits.
Personally, I alternate my SS GMT with a leather NATO strap, rubber doesn't seem to suit me as well. |

I like the idea in theory but in photos it makes me dislike the new maxi-case even more.

Not a fan of rubber at all I'd even be very hesitant with leather as well. It cheapens such a beautiful piece. However you paid for it so enjoy
